Keys to success: "We are a very experienced group, and we will be using this experience to have 11 leaders on the field. This experience will continue to push us on the field and will help us overcome adversity. Our offensive and defensive lines will be a strength again this year, with a nice mixture of skill-position athletes. We will have our eyes on an MOAC Red Division championship. We will have a great year, and our kids are very excited." - Head coach Patrick Cotter (second season at Elgin, 4-6).
